Since Zhen Yuanzi took human form, he first comprehended the Dao of Innate Wood from the ginseng fruit tree with its innate wood spiritual root, and then combined it with the Dao of Innate Earth, from which he comprehended the principle of life within restraint in the Dao of the Five Elements.

Then he discussed the Dao with the Eastern King, and witnessed the wonders of the innate pure Yang Dao, and comprehended the word "pure".

Now, in Buzhou Mountain, he received the blessings left by Pangu, formed the Three Flowers of Primordial Spirit, and learned the ultimate truth of heaven and earth from the Taoist of Taiqing.

Therefore, this time he went into seclusion to cultivate, not only to consolidate his Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, but also to organize his Dao cultivation, supernatural powers and various insights.

Zhen Yuanzi quickly realized the existence of the Great Dao Laws, one being the innate Earth Dao Law and the other the innate Wood Dao Law, both of which were within the innate Five Elements Great Dao.

This led to a deeper understanding of the innate Five Elements Dao.

It is perfectly normal for Zhen Yuanzi to be able to comprehend the laws of the innate Earth element and the innate Wood element.

After all, his true form was formed from the innate Earth element, and he was born with the Dao of the innate Earth element.

The Way of Innate Wood is derived from the Innate Wood Spiritual Root Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Only after comprehending the laws could Zhen Yuanzi truly step into the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, the path of laws is extremely difficult to cultivate. Zhen Yuanzi has only just begun to understand it. Only through long years of arduous cultivation can one deepen their understanding of the path of laws.

At this time, Zhen Yuanzi's Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit had been stabilized, and he could end his secluded cultivation.

However, before that, Zhen Yuanzi still needed to organize his own cultivation, supernatural powers, and various insights.

This includes some scattered Taoist texts remembered from a previous life.

"At the beginning of heaven and earth, the five elements were derived, hence the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which generate and restrain each other: metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal."

"Among them are the five elements that counteract each other: metal counters wood, wood counters earth, earth counters water, water counters fire, and fire counters metal."

"It can be said that the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things have yin and yang, and all things have the five elements."

After sorting out his own cultivation, supernatural powers, and various insights, Zhen Yuanzi spent most of his time using his primordial spirit to travel beyond the heavens and sense all things in the universe.

Cultivation knows no years; time passes in the mountains, and Mount Buzhou experiences no seasonal changes.

One day, Zhen Yuanzi, who was still lost in thought, suddenly remembered the cultivation methods recorded in the Taoist classics of his previous life.

In his previous life, he had only heard of it and did not know what mysteries it contained, nor how to cultivate it.

But thinking of the Taoist Taiqing, who could comprehend the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred, and he manifested a half-acre-sized auspicious cloud.

A primordial spirit flower emerged from it, and from within the three flowers, a golden light shot into the sky, illuminating an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles.

The next moment, countless innate spiritual energies converged and surged into Zhen Yuanzi's body.

This time, Zhen Yuanzi did not directly refine the innate spiritual energy with his primordial spirit. Instead, he let it integrate into his body to nourish his physical form. He then used the essence within his body to transform into a stream of primordial energy, and further refined the primordial energy to strengthen his primordial spirit.

Next, Zhen Yuanzi used his primordial spirit to perceive the universe in the vast darkness and to unite with the Dao.

In the darkness, Zhen Yuanzi followed the steps of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao. For the first time, he completed a full cycle of the Heavenly Cycle, entering a state that was neither empty nor empty, and his entire mind and spirit merged into it.

As a result, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, auspicious omens abounded on the mountain peaks, celestial sounds could be heard, and strange and exotic beasts appeared.

A century passed in the blink of an eye. Zhen Yuanzi, combining his own cultivation, deduced a basic method of cultivation by refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao.

Just as Zhen Yuanzi was gradually perfecting this basic cultivation method.

Suddenly, a mass of meritorious and illusory energy descended from the void and entered Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit.

This was a response from Heaven. Zhen Yuanzi deduced the four realms of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao, and perfected them.

Thus, countless beings in the primordial world will have laws to follow and paths to cultivate, hence the bestowal of the primordial energy of merit.

This method of cultivation differs from the cultivation methods of other innate gods and demons. It is not part of the innate order, nor is it a true scripture of the Great Dao. Rather, it is a basic method of cultivation.

All living beings in the primordial world, or all things in the universe, can cultivate using this method.

Unlike the methods deduced by innate gods and demons based on their own cultivation, ordinary beings simply cannot cultivate them.

"I never imagined that Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi could comprehend such a cultivation method after only a little over a thousand years of seclusion." Daoist Yuqing looked at the place where Zhen Yuanzi was in seclusion and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

"This method of cultivation is unprecedented. When Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi emerges from seclusion, we must discuss the method and the Dao with him." Daoist Taiqing said with emotion.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly. Zhen Yuanzi was indeed a man of great virtue. He had such insights as soon as he entered the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and even gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, which bestowed upon him the power of merit and profound virtue.

"I wonder what kind of background Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi has that he possesses such comprehension?" Shangqing Daoist asked curiously.

The Three Pure Ones were born from the primordial spirit of Pangu, and were born with Pangu's inheritance. Their origins were even superior to those of all the innate gods and demons.

This is something the Three Pure Ones have always been proud of.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had comprehended such a cultivation method, and that the heavens bestowed upon him a mysterious and powerful aura of merit, Shangqing became curious about Zhen Yuanzi's origins.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi's primordial spirit had returned to its place, and he had regained consciousness. His aura subsided, his divine light disappeared, his three flowers returned to their positions, and the auspicious clouds dissipated.

He couldn't help but feel his cultivation level increase out of thin air, and immediately smiled, saying, "This method can be spread throughout the primordial world; it is a great merit."

From now on, whenever any primordial creature cultivates using this method, Zhen Yuanzi will be able to obtain a trace of the Xuanhuang Qi of merit.

It seems that the merit and profound energy gained were not much, far less than before.

However, the sheer number of primordial beings and the constant generation of merit and primordial energy meant that, over time, the accumulated merit would surely surpass the previous amount by several times.

This primordial energy of merit is extremely precious. It can not only enhance one's cultivation but also be integrated into spiritual treasures, transforming them into acquired treasures of merit.

For example, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda of the Taiqing Daoist and the Vajra Beak that has not yet been born.

Its value is no less than that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures.

Sensing that Zhen Yuanzi had withdrawn his three primordial spirits and left his secluded thatched dwelling, the Three Pure Ones rose up to greet him.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones who came out to greet him, Zhen Yuanzi smiled and said, "It has been over a thousand years since we last met. I didn't expect that you would come out to greet me personally just as we were about to meet. But I have some doubts!"

"Haha, fellow Daoist, you guessed it all along." Daoist Shangqing laughed heartily.

"We are curious to see that you have comprehended a cultivation method that has gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, receiving the bestowal of merit and profound energy. Therefore, we wish to observe it," said the Taiqing Daoist, bowing respectfully.

"I hope you will grant my request, fellow Daoist." Yuqing Daoist also said the same thing.

"These are just trivial matters, why talk about granting favors?" Zhen Yuanzi naturally wouldn't refuse, saying, "However, I would appreciate it if the three of you could spread this cultivation method throughout the prehistoric world in the future."

"This is simple," said Daoist Yuqing, agreeing on behalf of Taiqing Shangqing. "From now on, we will preach the Dao to all living beings in Buzhou Mountain."

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile and explained the profound mysteries of this cultivation method one by one, including the four realms of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao.

Later, the Three Pure Ones preached the Dao to all living beings in one place, Buzhou Mountain, and taught this method of cultivation, which gradually spread throughout the prehistoric world.

In later generations, the Three Pure Ones established their own religions and became saints, becoming sages of the Xuanmen sect. Most of their disciples or members of the sect had practiced this method.

This allows Zhen Yuanzi and his disciples to be recognized as the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
